5r + 3h + (1/3) c = 100
15r + 9h + c = 300
r + h + c = 100
c = 100 - r - h
15r + 9h + (100 - r - h) = 300
14r + 8h = 200
(14/8) r + h = (200/8)
h = 25 - (7/4) r
Well, we have to by whole hens, so let's make r = 4.
Then, h = 25 - 7 = 18.
And c = 100 - 4 - 18 = 78
To double-check, 5 * 4 + 3 * 18 + 78 / 3 = 100.
So, you can buy 4 roosters, 18 hens, and 78 chicks.

dose it say you must have them all or just one species
cocks 100/5 = 20 cocks
hens 100/3=33 hens with one dollar = 3 chicks, 33hens and 3 chicks
or for chicks100/1*3= 300 chicks
leas thats what i figure, kindof a trick question there
